Dangerous trees may need to be reduced, pruned or removed, while others may have been planted or allowed to grow in poor locations, or an inappropriate species selected.

We have consulted to private and commercial clients in quite diverse circumstances including native vegetation removal and re-vegetation projects.

We have experience inspecting trees that may be hazardous in a development causing damage to homes, buildings or other structures, and providing solutions to these problems.

Working with consulting engineers, Landscapes By Design can help both domestic and commercial clients to investigate reasons for damage, even when neighbouring trees may be the problem.

For professional advice tree reports and consulting arborist services please do not hesitate to contact us.

We regularly provide tree reports and consulting arborist services and believe our work really helps deal with or guide clients through some of the complex planning requirements associated with trees today.

Testimonials

I took the paperwork in to the shire yesterday and we got the amended plans in the mail today. (quick hey). They must have been happy with what you did. Thank for doing it so quick and so professionally.

Steve - Wesburn

I met Darrell from Landscapes By Design in our local bakery, and after discussing a dead tree on our property he came to have a look. When he saw the mighty old gum towering over the power lines he suggested I phone the power company as they have a hazardous tree listing. I would never have known about this if not for Darrell Mcleod. It has saved us a great deal of stress and money.

Mrs SilverWolf – Mount Dandenong Victoria

After several meetings with Darrell we agreed on a layout and he provided a scaled drawing of our dream garden. He even produced a small video that showed our house with all the plants and features in 3D. We highly recommend Landscapes by Design as Darrell was totally focused on making sure we were happy through every step of the process.

Peter and Silvia - Point Cook

We met Darrell from “Landscapes by Design” through my husband’s work. They chatted about gardening and our new home. We did not know where to start with our landscaping. Darrell had a blank canvas to work with and created a garden that would suit our lifestyle and clay soil. The end product is a fabulous creation of plants in varying sizes, shapes and colours. We are extremely happy with the result and would recommend Darrell to create your landscaping dream.

Steve and Fiona

For our new garden and entertainment area we placed 100% trust in Darrell to come up with something that was stylish, tranquil and most importantly easy to maintain. He delivered at 110%. Outstanding service from beginning to end. We have continual compliments from family and friends about how beautiful and unique our haven is. Thank you Darrell, you really helped make our house a home.

Kim and Mel - Olinda Victoria

After months dealing with council over the roots of a neighbouring tree, Darrell’s prompt attention and plain speaking made light work of a potentially costly problem. We can’t thank him enough for making himself available to supervise the excavation of our building site to ensure the tree roots were not damaged, writing the required reports before and after attending to our issues at really short notice.

Sophie and Stephen - Ferntree Gully

Darrell was prompt, extremely helpful and his fees reasonable. His design was practical, met all of Council’s requirements, nicely thought out, as well as looking great. Darrell, thank you for all your work and sooner than expected final copy of the Landscape Design.

Toscha - Oakleigh South

Darrell has been a great support to us on a number of diverse projects for years. He designed and managed the landscaping of our new house on an acre with terrific results. He has provided aborist reports reducing our stress dramatically. Heavily involved in our small subdivision he provided fantastic project management and subject matter expertise. We cannot recommend Darrell too highly as his services really have been exemplary.

Steve and Cheryl - Frankston Victoria

Thanks for this Darrell
You have prepared a very thorough and clear tree report and I thank you for this and your advice.

Melbourne Eastern Suburbs High School

In the storm that occurred shortly after we lodged the application to council part of the River Red Gum by the dam fell towards the house next door falling short of it by inches, but demolishing their shed, the fence and most of the Sequoia sempervirens. As you predicted it failed at the weak spot where the other trunk had recently fallen.
